Here’s a list of 5 touch type tutor extensions for Chrome which you can use to learn how to type fast or just improve your current touch typing skills. A lot of jobs that require you to sit behind a computer screen also require you to be able to type fast. Touch typing is a learned skill, it just takes practice. Chrome extensions mentioned down below can be used to learn best techniques and also to practice touch typing so you get better at it.
Let’s look at them in detail.
TIPP10
TIPP10 is a touch type tutor extension that starts you out with some basic instructions on how to touch type, before moving on to actual touch typing practice sessions, like the one that you can see on the image above.
To use this extension, you need to register an account with the TIPP10 website. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be presented with 4 step introduction, followed by lots of practice lessons, with dozens of different letter combinations to sharpen your touch typing skill.

Typing Club
What puts Typing Club to the list of great typing tutor extensions is the fact that you don’t need to register an account to use it.
Account can be created, but only to save your progress. Speed, accuracy and overall performance are tracked to help you see how good you’re getting. Practice revolves around typing out increasingly more difficult sets of letters, like the ones on the image above.

Typing Lessons
Typing Lessons dives straight into practice. It’s only a couple of letters at first. They are combined into nonsensical sets of words and your goal is to type out as many of them in as little time as possible.
Errors, typing speed and detailed analysis of your touch typing performance are available. Even a heat map of most typed keys is available. Account is optional (should you decide to save your progress).

Type Scout
Type Scout starts off touch tying practice at a slower pace. Only individual letters are given to you at first.
As you progress more, you’ll see more letters in the practice sets, and even other symbols from the keyboard like punctuation marks. Practice is possible without registration, but to keep track of progress you will need to register an account.

Typing Arena
Typing Arena does have touch typing lessons that can help you improve your typing speed, but the reason why I mentioned it here is the typing speed test that it offers.
Use the top menu to switch from lessons to the typing speed test. Once you’ve practiced enough, you can use the test to figure out just how fast you can type. There are even badges that you can use to brag to friends how fast you can type.

Conclusion
I like the approach to touch typing training that Typing Lessons has. It’s the best touch typing extension for Chrome, at least the best when compared to the touch typing extensions that I tested. Interface is compact, easy to understand yet offers a lot of information.
